An Arizona wedding planner last week refused to work with a same-sex couple once she realized that they were gay.

Kenyata White found Susan Latimer's wedding planning business online and started working with Latimer to plan a December wedding. White referred to her fiancée Chrystal Allen just as her fiancée during the first stages of the planning process.

"Today we offer our prayers and condolences to the parents and family of Abdul-Rahman Kassig, also known to us as Peter. We cannot begin to imagine their anguish at this painful time," Obama said in a statement. "Abdul-Rahman was taken from us in an act of pure evil by a terrorist group that the world rightly associates with inhumanity. Like Jim Foley and Steven Sotloff before him, his life and deeds stand in stark contrast to everything that ISIL represents."

Secretary of Health and Human Services Sylvia Matthews Burwell on Sunday said that 100,000 people have submitted applications for Obamacare during the new open enrollment period.

On NBC's "Meet the Press" host Chuck Todd also asked Burwell about comments made by MIT professor Jonathan Gruber, who helped draft the Affordable Care Act, which surfaced recently. Gruber said the law passed due to a "lack of transparency" and called American voters stupid.

After comedian Bill Cosby responded with silence on Saturday to a question about sexual assault allegations made against him, his lawyer said that Cosby will not be commenting on the accusations.

"Over the last several weeks, decade-old, discredited allegations against Mr. Cosby have resurfaced. The fact that they are being repeated does not make them true. Mr. Cosby does not intend to dignify these allegations with any comment," Cosby's lawyer, John P. Schmitt, said in a Sunday statement.

Gordon Klingenschmitt, an anti-gay Republican just elected to the Colorado state house, doesn't understand why his election caused such a stir and it all must be because of a "backlash" against Jesus.

"Why would people hate a chaplain?" he asked on "Bible News Radio" on Monday, according to a Right Wing Watch recording. "I'm just a guy who believes the Bible. I love Jesus. I love people. I'm a man of faith and compassion."
